Question

• A. Secondary plant products
• B. Hormones
• C. Enzymes
• D. Vitamins

Answer 1

The correct option is A Secondary plant products

Secondary metabolites are plant products that are not involved in the development and growth of plant but are required by the plant for its survival. Plant secondary metabolites are divided into three groups, namely flavonoids, phenolic and polyphenolic compounds like ferulic acid, hesperidin and coumarin; terpenoids; and nitrogen-containing alkaloids and sulphur-containing compounds.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Secondary plant products'.
